• Cash flow based "OPS" (Operational-cashflow Per Share) is a new financial analysis metric which is a better leading indicator and is not as easily manipulated as EPS (earnings per share).

Published warnings on over 200 companies during 2002, including Adelphia Communications, Concord EFS and Fleming Companies.
• Discovered that each and every public company's "OPS" (Operational-cashflow Per Share) logically falls into a mathematical sequence that ranks it into one of eight distinctive "OPS Ranking" risk categories.
• Discovered OPS Ranking algorithms that identify emerging growth companies and turnaround companies one to three quarters before they become profitable.
• Discovered that a combination of its proprietary cash flow metrics could be used to develop algorithms, which can be used to identify and predict a majority of the top performing stocks in the market.
• Discovered that the aggregated financial statement data for an index or an industry could be used to predict major trend changes for the industry or index and the share prices for their respective components.

Notable Predictions

• Predicted in two Chicago newspapers that Sears was having difficulties in collecting their credit card receivables, which Sears executive vehemently denied.
